DIY Activated Charcoal Peel-off Face Mask

Hello beauties. Today I have an easy activated charcoal face mask recipe for you all. The charcoal masks that you find in beauty stores aren’t exactly cheap, so I DIYed it with just three ingredients, I call beauty on a budget. So without further ado let’s see how to make it.

Ingredients:

Ingredient	Quantity
Gelatin	2 tsp.
Raw milk	1 ½ tbsp.
Activated charcoal powder	1/4 tsp.

(The links to buy activated charcoal powder and gelatin are at the end of this article.)

Procedure:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a steel bowl.

2. Put this bowl over a water bath. In simpler words put it in a larger container filled with hot water, so that the smaller bowl is only half immersed in it.

3. It will take around 2-3 minutes for the gelatin to melt completely. In the end you should get a smooth paste.

4. Apply it on your clean face with an old face pack brush. It is better if you apply the mask from top to bottom, so it is easier to remove.

Remember to keep it away from your eyes, eyebrows and hairline. You can apply Vaseline to your eyebrows and hairline so that the mask doesn’t stick to it. In case the mask still gets into the unwanted places, after it has dried, use hot water to remove it.

5. Let it dry completely, this will take around 20 minutes. Then peel it off very slowly and gently, firstly loosen the mask by gently tugging the ends and creating air gap in it. Take your time in removing it off your skin. It’s tough to peel it off, but trust me the effort is worth it.

6. After you have peeled it off, wash your face with cold water, to close the pores. And there you have your skin looking soft and glowing.

I’ll just briefly put in the benefits of the ingredients used in the mask. Activated Charcoal helps in clearing out dirt from your skin, fights acne and helps in achieving flawless complexion. Raw milk makes your skin look younger and healthier. It also helps in evening out the skin tone and acts as a moisturizer, so it’s great for the winters. Gelatin makes your skin softer and tighter, tell me who doesn’t want that? So to summarize it all, this pack is for softer, healthier and clearer looking skin. I have been in love with this pack, as it helped me clear out the white heads on my skin. You can use this mask twice a month.
